Luke’s story of the nativity of John and Jesus is perhaps
the best known story of the Bible. It is a story that gets re-told every
year in pulpit readings at Christmas time and re-enacted in Christmas
pageants. It is also a story that has been widely popularized by some of
the most loved and cherished of the Christmas Carols. “Hark, the Herald
Angels Sing,” “Noel. Noel,” and “While Shepherds Watched Their Flock by
Night” are but three of the many carols inspired by Luke that come to
mind. It is also a story that has found its way into the hearts of the
people through its celebration in the great art of the world.
